Understanding a "Right of Way"

Do you know how wide, and where the “right of way” on your property is? It varies depending on the lot, and where in town you’re located. A good rule of thumb is at least ten feet, with many residential lots being twenty feet or more.

When erecting a fence, planting a garden, or performing other landscape/hard scape projects on your property, ensure you find the proper measurements.
